Diflunisal is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) derived from salicylic acid. It is primarily used for its analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties to manage mild to moderate pain, such as that resulting from arthritis or musculoskeletal injuries. Diflunisal is approved and used in several countries, though it is less commonly prescribed than other NSAIDs today.
